Skunk2 Racing has been pushing Hondas to go faster and handle better for over a decade. We've applied that experience to our latest project car the "Skunk2 Fit R". As we transformed the Fit into a beast, we developed an aftermarket arsenal for the Fit enthusiast. Our first release is the Skunk2 Lowering Spring but Keep your eyes on us for Fit exhaust, full coilovers and much more...

"Skunk2 Fit R" on Street Tuner Challenge!

Skunk2 invades your television! Earlier this year Skunk2 was challenged by Honda to take a Honda Fit and modify it to compete on Speed Channel's Street Tuner Challenge. We accepted and a monster was born to take on a Mustang and GTI. Watch our video of the build and see the program schedule for Speed Channel below. Don't forget to tune in to see if our little monster ate the competition!

I'm speechless, so I'll type. What were the dyno numbers? I would watch the show but I don't have speedchannel. Turbo kit looks awesome and I like the body kit. If you guys have any text descriptions of what went on I would like to see them.

You'll have to wait for Street Tuner Challenge to reveal the results. Our contract with them won't let us say what the dyno numbers are. As for a full write-up, I'll see what I can put together. We're working on a spec-sheet to post up for all you Fit Freaks. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks again for tuning in and supporting! Our product development team is working on the turbo kit as well as some other Fit specific products. There is no target date for production on the turbo kit though. Fit Freak will be the first place we post any new products.

cheers,
